Korean Air Bans Roosters On US-Philippine Routes
Korean Air is banning the export of animals used for illegal cockfighting overseas. Animal welfare groups report that thousands of birds, specifically breeding roosters, are shipped abroad under the guise of agricultural or breeding stock to bypass scrutiny. While cockfighting is illegal in all 50 US states, investigators state the underground trade remains active. The airline's decision aims to cut off a major cargo route feeding the trade. Korean Air has implemented a ban on transporting roosters on flights between the United States and the Philippines. The decision follows public outcry regarding cockfighting activities.
